After the complexity of the first two volumes, this book is much simpler, following a mostly linear plot. Jake is kidnapped and ends up participating in a heist during the French Revolution. Meanwhile, Summer's fairies stage an attack on Wintercombe that has to be resisted by Rebecca, Wharton and Maskelyne. Despite all the action of this volume, not much actually happens. All the major players, situations and story elements remain precisely as they were when we started, except for one thing, which really could have been resolved in The Slanted Worlds. As a result, I ended this book feeling a little disappointed. Still, an exciting read, and I'm interested in seeing how everything ends.
